IMO indicates the applicable standard for marine foams to be used in fighting fires on marine vessels.
Fires are always dangerous but additional difficulties are encountered with shipboard fires due to compact spaces, intense heat in engine rooms and highly flammable materials/fuels. Even small fires are extremely dangerous given the close quarters. VS Focum have tested their marine foams against all these issues to ensure that the excellent extinguishment capabilities are retained.

We at Fire Response are proud to partner with VS Focum – manufacturers of most eco-efficient firefighting foam concentrates in the world, specialising in Newtonian Fluorine Free Foam solutions. Visit them here to discover why.
We offer a special Fire Fighting Foam Transition advisory service whereby we educate your team on the finer points of transitioning your site to Fluorine Free Foam. Initial presentation can be offered via Zoom and any subsequent system testing is carried out on site. This is especially popular with mine sites and heavy industry where the smallest mistake can be disproportionally expensive in terms of personnel and equipment. Testing of your current foam concentrate is also available. The samples taken are sent to the labs in Spain where it is analysed and performance tested in line with international standards, whilst using your local water to ensure accuracy.
